The message from Lionel Messi about the absence of CR7 for the match against Juventus
The Argentinian know that Cristiano is his main rival and wants to face him every time he can.
Since Ronaldo left, the Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona matches are not the same. That’s why the expectations for the match between Messi’s team and Juventus were so high. Now that the Cristiano’s tests came positive, it is unlikely for him to make it to the match and Lionel Messi regrets it.
When the movement of the Portuguese to Juventus was made, Messi said that he would like to face him again because the matches between him and CR7 were special and that feeling would remain forever. The possibility of seeing both of them in the pitch is still there.
Messi also said that not only Barcelona or Real Madrid enjoyed the matches, it was a great show for every football match. These statements made a strong focus on the personal duel these two players have about who is the greatest of all time at football.
Barcelona and Juventus will have to face again eventually because they are on the same Champions’ League group so if nothing strange happened like Ronaldo’s tests, it will be a matter of time until we see him and Messi playing against one more time. People know that if that moment came, it will be wonderful.
